Three Masked Men Bring rLIIccn EabSon-
gers to Time.
BALwIN, Mo-, June 19.-The BalWIn
and Manchester stage, which runs from
here to Barretts on the Missouri Pacific,
was stopped this afternoon about s
O'Clock, when returning, al about mile
from Barretts, By three masked men IRE
men were concealed in the tsick under
brush, which lines the road on both sides
near what is known as Sugar creek
bridge, and as the stage with fifteen pas
seugers approached the robbers advanced
with drawn Tevolvers and ordered Mr.
Bennett, the driver, TO stop and the pas
seGgeIs 10 fail in line. Henry Schelp and
Frank Herzog escaped by running away
without being perceived, showing well
that the robbers were not acco hpIished
in their profession, and were no doubt
new hands at the business. The ladies
were not molestea. There is some dis
pute as to the number of
men actually engaged in the rob-
berry, some of the passengers
claiming that there was six drawn re-
volvers concealed in the underbrush in
case any resistance should be offered.
The masks worn were made OF red hand
kerchiefs with holes cut in them and one
had the sleeve Of an undershirt drawn
over his head IS the only covering. Con-
sidering the amount of money and valuar
bles the robbers made poor haul, secur-
ing only about $3.50 out of an estimated
$500 in money and valuables in posses
sion of the passengers.
